🎶: 'Landed' by DAY6 (Even of Day)



Soobin placed his final books into his final box, and pulled a strip of tape across the cardboard. 
"That would be the last one," he said. 
"I'm gonna miss you."
Soobin turned around to see Yeonjun standing in the doorframe of his room, leaning against the wood with his arms crossed, a small pout in his face. 
"So will I. But it's easier for both me and Taehyun, as well as Juhyeok."
"I understand."
After a long talk, Soobin and Taehyun ultimately decided that Soobin would move into their house, so he could take Juhyeok to school easily, bring him back home, and stay with him until Taehyun comes home, without having to worry about traffic or driving in the dark. 
It would definitely make their lives simpler. 
And Soobin likes keeping things easy. 
Of course, breaking the news to Yeonjun didn't go without him hilariously and hysterically bawling, but Soobin promised that absolutely nothing would change their friendship.
Not when they took three trips up and down the stairs to pile everything into Yeonjun's minivan. 
"You're absolutely sure you want this?" Yeonjun asked when they were on their way. 
Soobin spared him a frown. 
"Of course, why would you think otherwise?"
Yeonjun bit his lip. 
"Are you seriously still doubting Taehyun?" Soobin deadpanned.  
"I can't help it! He left you depressed for an entire week!"
"Hyung."
"What?!"
"It's not like I'm going to my father."
Yeonjun gulped, and Soobin only chuckled. 
"Trust me; besides, Taehyun was also wallowing in sorrow that week."
"If you say so."
He turned left. 
"Should I stay and help you unpack?"
"Sure! You could also finally meet Taehyun properly and get to know him."
"I guess."
The two teachers pulled into the familiar neighborhood, and Soobin pointed at Taehyun's house. Yeonjun drove into the driveway, an impressed look on his face. 
"Not too shabby."
"I know, their house is really nice."
Soobin had the brightest smile on his face that nearly made Yeonjun gag from being so single as he exited the car. He also stepped out of the vehicle, and opened his trunk. 
Meanwhile, Soobin made his way towards the main entrance, which opened to reveal Juhyeok dressed in the most adorable red-black striped sweater and denim overalls. 
"Papa!!"
He waddled towards him and threw his tiny arms around Soobin's neck. 
"Hey bud."
"I'm so excited for you to live here!"
"So am I kid."
Taehyun appeared in the doorframe next, dressed in baggy jeans, a white shirt, and a bandana.
